"This way, if it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD. You better be careful, JD," Trump joked at a press conference.

A federal judge in South Carolina ruled this week that the Trump administration’s termination of environmental justice grants was “illegal.” The decision dealt a setback to efforts to dismantle a Biden-era program that funded projects addressing environmental and public health challenges […]
As expected, President Trump’s White House UFC celebration sent liberals into meltdown mode, with the women of “The View” hysterically calling the event a “desecration” of the White House.“We are talking terminal cases of Trump derangement syndrome all across the country with the libs,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says before playing a clip of the angry hosts.“I don’t know how MMA or cage fighting is emblematic of our country,” Sunny Hostin said to the rest of the panel. “I just don’t understand how that sort of reflects American culture.”“This doesn’t feel like a sport. This feels like you’re trying to show us who we’re supposed to be,” Whoopi Goldberg chimed in, before Ana Navarro added that it was evidence of the "continued desecration of the White House.”“They’re concerned about the desecration of the White House because they believe that the White House should be respected, is what I’m hearing,” Gonzales says, pointing out that under the Biden administration, they had no issues with Biden essentially turning the White House into a Pride flag.“You guys are prancing trannies around on the White House lawn. You want to talk about desecrating the White House? Give me a break,” she continues. “How about Joe Biden desecrating Easter Sunday, calling it Trans Visibility Day and hosting the event at the White House?”Gonzales illustrates her point with a clip of a transgender woman on the White House lawn, pulling down his shirt to flash his fake breasts to the camera.“That’s what happened on the White House lawn under Joe Biden’s tenure,” she says. “I’m not going to be lectured by these people. I’m not going to listen to these people claim that they care about desecration of the White House because it’s just such an esteemed place.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
Georgia Republicans have chosen the Trump-endorsed candidate, Congressman Mike Collins, to face off in the Senate contest against Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff, rejecting Gov. Brian Kemp's pick of former coach Derek Dooley. But they may come to regret that decision soon, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Tuesday's edition of "The Briefing.""As a member of Congress, Mike Collins has used his social media presence to offend just about everybody he can," said Psaki. Among other things, she noted, "He's posted in support of throwing an immigrant out of a helicopter. He posted in support of a group of counter-protesters harassing a Black protester ... one of whom taunted that Black student with monkey noises. He once endorsed a post from an antisemitic troll who was attacking a reporter for being Jewish."He has more "horrifying" social media behavior landing him in trouble, Psaki continued — but all of this is comfortably enough to make him all but unelectable.Psaki went on to quote a recent lament from a Republican strategist to MS NOW, who said, “If you went to a laboratory and tried to create the worst general election candidate for this state and environment possible, you couldn’t do better than Mike Collins,” between his "personal baggage" and an absolutist anti-abortion stance. "He will lose the Atlanta metro in unprecedented fashion, and we have to hope he doesn't take everyone else down with him," the strategist said.On top of all that, Psaki continued, Collins "is also a notorious election denier" who refuses to accept the outcome of the 2020 presidential election — which by Trump's own admission is why he picked Collins over Dooley, who had acknowledged former President Joe Biden carried Georgia."That was apparently a dealbreaker for Trump," said Psaki. "Of course, Trump did in fact lose the state of Georgia in the 2020 election, which isn't something I should have to keep saying six years later. But nevertheless, here we are." - YouTube www.youtube.com

As of next month, the U.S. will have made it 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but according to a new survey reported on by The Hill, a shockingly large portion of Americans have a grim prediction for how things will go over the next 250 years.Reporting Tuesday on the findings from a new Reuters/Ipsos poll surveying Americans about the state of the country and its future, The Hill noted that over a third of respondents, 38 percent, predicted that the U.S. will not survive to its 500th anniversary in 2276, instead suggesting that it will have broken up into multiple separate nations by then. The remaining 62 percent predicted that it would be able to endure.The pessimism was more acute for Democratic respondents, with 40 percent predicting that the U.S. would not survive another 250 years. Only 26 percent of Republicans chose the same answer."The poll comes amid heightened political tensions in the U.S., with multiple instances of political violence in the last few years and increasingly heated rhetoric," The Hill explainedThis fatal forecast comes on the heels of worsening political polarization in the U.S. over the last few decades, with opposite ends of the American political spectrum holding views that are increasingly incompatible with each other. This has lead to some grim predictions for the nation's future, with some suggesting that a new civil war is imminent, and others suggesting that it will inevitably "balkanize" into two or more separate countries. Former GOP congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been among the most prominent proponents of the latter idea, repeatedly suggesting over the years that a "national divorce" is necessary. The rest of the findings from the Reuters/Ipsos poll did little to suggest that Americans have much confidence in the health of the country overall."The Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that 30 percent of respondents said the U.S. is the world’s best country, a decrease from 38 percent who thought so when asked in November 2017," The Hill detailed. "In the more recent survey, 48 percent said the country is among many excellent countries, 13 percent said the U.S. isn’t great in any way and 8 percent did not answer the question or were unsure."It continued: "In other recent polling, Americans have also expressed little faith in their country’s leadership and governmental structure. An early June poll from Quinnipiac University found more than half of Americans saying that the system of democracy was not working in their country. President Trump, a polarizing figure himself, was sitting at a 40.30 percent approval rating in a polling average from Decision Desk HQ on Tuesday morning, with his disapproval rating at 56.8 percent."
